We would of needed to send out a young center under preforming making a lot of money ( rask 4m 4yrs ) we dont have that

Zacha is an under performing center

Making a lot of money? Off setting cost was a big part of this deal.

I wouldn't wanna absorb ninos contract without sending dollars back. If nino doesnt get back to 50+ pts it's a bad contract

 

[ChicksDigTheTrap]

Nino is overrated in these parts. Still he is better then Rask. I guess the Wild wanted to save some money?

Agree. $5.25 million for a 20 goal - 2o assists or so winger. Nothing special IMO.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Nino is paid as a middle 6 winger should be paid. Thats today's NHL. Gone are the days of middle six wingers taking $2 million contracts

Correct. So what is exciting about acquiring him? Big push for the 8 seed?

I mean he still has term left on his deal, its not like he is UFA.

I would have liked to have acquired him but I am not one of the "WHY AREN'T WE IN ON THIS?!" people.

Never mind if we had anything they would have wanted in a trade, if Shero does not believe the player will help long term there is no reason to try and acquire him. He has three years left but if his production does not improve he will not be a value contract. Not sure why a rebuilding team that is not making the playoffs this year would trade for him at this point.

Zacha isn't underperforming. He's never performed to begin with. Rask has actually produced at the NHL level.

so basically its your opinion that we should...not trade for anyone with term? Not trade for anyone thats 26?

not really sure I get that or agree with it.

Shero may view acquiring Nino like I do.

"I've said all along, with the support of managing partners, Josh (Harris) and David (Blitzer), that you don't build a team that's rebuilding through free agent signings that would handcuff you in 3-to-4 years," Shero said. "Doing something for the sake of getting a little bit better, or to just say you're doing something, is patchwork and not a plan. There's only one way to do this. The idea is to build something that once you do build it, you're in a good position each year to have a chance to make the playoffs and at a certain point you're considered a Cup contender.

I think when he says that bolded quote, he's talking about signing a older free agent just to "get a little bit better"

 

[OmNomNom]

lol holy shit, zach parise had 11 shots in their loss tonight

 

[Bleedred]

lol holy ****, zach parise had 11 shots in their loss tonight

Just a terrible and absolutely embarrassingly awful night for the franchise. First we get embarrassed by the team of our former illustrious GM who we jettisoned for even more dark years, then our once prized franchise player who walked does this tonight? The terror! What's next? Schneider gets traded to Anaheim tomorrow and shuts us out on Saturday?

i love shero, but that’s incredibly vague and stupid. what kind of logic is that lol

 

[Devils Dominion]

Philly should have kept Fillpula

He's good to have around for the young players.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Anaheim finally won

I'd thought they would roll into Newark on that lonnngg losing streak .

Now they are on a W streak, of 1

That isn’t a winning streak. A winning streak is something continuous, AKA more than one.

 

[bobilly45]

Find it funny that islanders dont know where they would play their playoff games..... apparently no one planned for it

Hah, they aren't contractually obligated to play them at Barclays?

Now it is

 

[sabremike]

Word is that the league will let them play the first round at the Coliseum but anything beyond that has to be at Barclays because all the league cares about is making a quick buck. The Isles owners fought like hell to get the league to allow games at the Coliseum. I hope God settles the whole issue by creating a gigantic sinkhole that swallow Barclays and it disappears forever.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

The Dallas Stars... riddle me that. What a ****ing clown show that franchise is at the moment.

The owner obviously has his issues with Benn, but a lot of the fans are starting to turn on him, too. I don't think the organization can or will move on from Seguin, but I'm starting to wonder if they'll cut ties with Benn.

That core has been together far too long to have accomplished such little success.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Zacha is an under performing center

Compared to most others that were drafted around him, he's completely underperformed.

only Crouse has done worse, IMO
